Layla is 1 year old!

It's hard to believe that Layla is already a year old! We have been busy with birthday parties, time with family, and vacation, so the birthday update is finally here!

Layla's birthday was July 24th and we enjoyed the day with Grandma and Papa at the pool and then went out to dinner with Bobby's family in the evening. It was such an enjoyable day and we had a blast being all together with both families. Layla is so loved by both mine and Bobby's family that it was such a pleasure for everyone to be with her on her first birthday.

We also had a little birthday party for her at Bobby's parents house and I can't tell you how enjoyable that was. We have never experienced a birthday from the side of being parents and I have to say, it was equally as fun as our own birthday's. To see so many people delight in Layla and be a part of her birthday celebration was overwhelming. It made my heart smile to see Layla so happy that day.

And who could resist that cake?! Layla takes after my own heart, with the love of frosting. She successfully ate an entire corner piece of cake, with both hands the whole time. I probably took about a million pictures of cake-eating alone. She was so much fun to watch!

Bobby's parents got her a little "mini quad" that's battery operated and she is loving learning how to use it. We've been having so much fun watching her figure it out.

Overall, I would say that her first birthday was a success. But, more than that, it was such a fun time of celebration. We love Layla so much and it brought Bobby and I so much joy to watch others love her too.

Now the countdown is on until her second birthday!
